Reviews
The 25th Reich (2012)
The Australian film industry can do so so much better (I'm an Aussie btw)
Whilst the basic idea of this movie is a good one -
"In 1943, five US soldiers are recruited by the OSS for a time travel mission to save the world from the tyranny of Hitler's 25th Reich."
the execution was lamentable!
(I'm trying to find a copy of the book it's based so I can do a comparison)
The low point for me being a 'homosexual', using the term very loosely, rape of the Captain commanding the GIs by one of his own men who's been turned into a giant metallic spider by a flying swastika in the year 2237 (it seems that they overshot the mark on their return from 50,000 years in the past). (This is also a concise summary of the standard, of lack thereof, of this film)
Whilst not at the depths so 'brilliantly' hit by Ed Wood Jr in "PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE" in 1959 "The 25th Reich" is certainly heading in that direction fast!
When I consider what my country's film industry can turn out I'm almost ashamed to admit my nationality if that also involves admitting any connection, even a cultural one, with this turkey of a film.
Now having comprehensively (I hope) canned it I find myself strangely hoping that they do make the sequel "The 25th Reich - War against God" so I can see if they can 'surpass' the late Mr Wood's fantastically low achievement!
Btw my wife's critique was "Wtf" and she asked "Is there a rating less than 1". And she was being charitable at the time!
Hart of Dixie (2011)
Nice light harted entertainment (pun intended)
As an Aussie ('Orstaylian' to those of you in the great US of A) I obviously have some pre-conceived ideas about the deep South, especially as I've never visited it (transiting twice in Honolulu airport in 1978 is my only experience of the USA).
No doubt because of my pre-conceived ideas this show came as a pleasant surprise, e.g. a deep South town with an African-American as the Mayor who's had a past relationship with the leading (white) Southern Belle in the town.
And Tim Matheson's character of Dr Brick Breeland is so delightfully obnoxious that I'm given to wonder if the character's first name isn't a thinly disguised pun. lol
I have but two regrets about the show which are that Nicholas Pryor's character of Dr Harley Wilkes and Nancy Travis' Emmeline Hattenbarger were only in the first episode. But you can't have everything!
However, for me it's Rachel Bilson's Dr Zoe Hart (she seems to always introduce herself with the "Dr") who's the hart of show (I can't resist puns btw).
When I started to watch the first episode my initial reaction was "She's too young, too flighty and too short" (the last being to give any impression of medical authority) and I doubted very much if I'd like the show. By the end of the first episode I'd become a firm fan and am really looking forward to the rest of Season 1, 2 and as many more as they can make without the show becoming stale!
If, in the space of forty or so minutes, Ms Bilson can bring about that sort of a change in my views then she's clearly very good at her job and the show well worth watching!
More please!!!!!!!!!
